TAFFY APPLE SALAD



Taffy Apple Salad image

This is a really great recipe that I found in a Taste of Home cookbook. Plan a little bit ahead because it is really easy to make but does involve some chilling time. The salted peanuts really contrast nicely with the sweet ingredients. Make your salad pretty by adding some extra peanuts and apple slices to the top or layer it in a clear trifle dish. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Select the Right Apples: Choose firm and crisp apples that hold their shape well during baking. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn apples are all excellent options.
  • Use Fresh Lemon Juice: Fresh lemon juice adds a bright, tangy flavor to the salad. Avoid using bottled lemon juice, which can have a more artificial taste.
  • Don't Overcook the Apples: The apples should be tender but still retain a slight crunch. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Chill the Salad Before Serving: Chilling the salad allows the flavors to meld and develop. It also makes the salad more refreshing.
  • Garnish with Nuts and Seeds: Chopped walnuts, pecans, or sunflower seeds add a nice crunch and extra flavor to the salad.

Conclusion:
